Bf 110 crash at Villers sous Chalamont
Has anyone any record of a crash at this location? The photo I have shows a Genrdarme standing in front of the wreckage and by the looks of it, it would have been late Winter early spring 1940. The photo, a Keystone photo, has on the back "Besancon (Villers sous Chalamont)"

Re: Bf 110 crash at Villers sous Chalamont
This Bf 110 crashing in France before the war was the result of an operatioh of the French secret service. There are more details in an "Hors-Series" of Avions magazine about the Bf 110 losses in France in 39-41, but I am away from home and from my books now.

Thanks all including Dan Gilberti. The photo I have doesn't match any of the ones I have seen but the Gendarme in one if the photos is the same!
